very easy grade to the landing.
Timaa are so quiet, and the peace of the

is almost unnecessary. All citizens hope
that this may continue. - ;
The frnit crop in this portion of Orepon
promise to be more abundant than during
any season for many year pant, and tne ex
port trade will be a great factor of develop

fered from kidney troubles, and her death
was not unexpected.
The Union Pacific steamer, D. 8. Baker,
has been thoroughly repaired; but it is
doubtful if she will be put in tbe trade

An item in the Oregonian yesterday said
The Dalles Woolen factory would begin
operations about June 1st. This is a mis
take, lor tbia city baa not sutncient enter
prise to inaugurate a woolen mill. It evi
dently is intended for Dallas, Polk county.
An effort is being made to induce the
great revivalist, Rev. B. Fay Mills, to hold
a ceries of meetings in this city. Undoubt
edly the people of The Dalles need con
siderable reviving, and we hope the evan
gelist will give our citizens some of his
religious discourses.
It is interesting to learn that a Malay, a j
Bushman," a Hottentot and a Kamr will
probibly be brought over to disport them
selves in natiye costume at the world's fair.
Witb a fashionable ball room attached to
this display, we shall have one of the most
complete exhibits of the progressive decol
lete movement abroad and at home ever
attempted.
Any one visiting the burned district now
can haidly realize that it was levelled to the
gronnd last September. Better bnildings
than before the conflagration now ornament
the locality, and the district will be more
populous than before September, :91. The
Dalles has suffered by fire and flood for
many years past,' and has always survived
every disaster. The naturul facilities of the
city are such that fire nor water can not de
stroy its prospects.
Yamhill Reporter: Abe Hansbrongh, a
brother of United State Senator Hans

We met this morning Mr. Patrick Mul
bolland, a member of the 59th regiment of
the British army. He carries with him a
silver medal which he received for gallant
services in Afghanistan, and he says the
British army were never guilty of cow
ardice. We always desire to give credit to
old soldiers, whether American, British,
German or f rench, and it is a great satis
faction that the old veterans of different
nations adopt this country aod in almost
every instance they make good citizens.

Dr. Sutherland left on the midnight train
in response to a summons calling him to
McClane, Sherman county, to atteud John
H. McClane, who two weeks ago suffered a
severe attack of . pneninonia. He waa
thought to be recovering, but has probably
bad a relapse.
John C. Woods, of the firm of Woods
Brothers, last night had a severe attack of
hemorrhage, the second within the past few
days. It is thought that while engaged in
lifting beef, two weeka ago, he ruptured an
artery which caused the hemorrhages. -Today,
although weak from the excessive loss
of blood, he is in a comfortable condition. -
Albany Democrat: Frank Snodgrass, a
sixteen year old boy, was brought from
Harrisburgh to day by his stepfather, H B
Maxwell, and examined by Dr. Wallace
and Ellia as to bis insanity and committed
to the asylum. He seems to have been sub
ject to fits, which his father also had. Tbe
boy looses his mind and everything is blank.
Aatoriaiu But there is a strange peculiar
ity about a mossback. While he -ridicnles
the efforts of those who are trying to build
tbe railroad and inaugurate other improve
ments, and will not lend a hand to bnng
about a common prosperity, he alway has
the presence of mind to raise the price of
his property whenever his more enterprising
neighbors give tbe town a boom.
' Vancouver Regular: The remain of the
man found floating among the logs near tbe
North Pacific lumber mills last Saturday
morning have been identified to a certainty
as those of Edward Ford, who was drowned
off a brush scow near the head of Govern
ment Island, above this city, on tbe 5th of
December. The identification ras made by
Charles Carlson and another laborer, who
were working with Fbrd at the time he was
drowned. -
Sentinel: About thirty settlers are here to
locate in tbe Cedar Valley north of Gray
Back. This valley is about eighteen miles
long aod six miles wide and is one of tbe
best tracts of land unclaimed in the state;
tour or five buudred families can procure
good homes there. On the Big Klickitat a
short distance above it, is another excellent
tract of vacant land which will be claimed
in a short time.
Goldendale Sentinel: Mert Sanders, a lad
14 years ot age, had his leg broken Sunday
by being thrown from a horse. He was rid
ing after cattle down a butte about three
miles east of town, when the horse ran
away with bim, throwing him from tbe
horse and breaking bis leg. He was taken
to the house of J. C. Morehead and Drs.
Stowelll and Stewart sent for who reduced
the fracture. He was brought to this city
Monday morning where bis parents reside.
We bave received a copy of Good Road,
published at New York by the League
Roads Improvement Bureau. It ia in favor
of better thoroughfares in the United
States, and the leading article is by Hoc.
J. H. Dolpb, U- S. senator from Oregon,
entitled "A Plea for Better Roads." It is
a very able article, and no one knows better
the importance of good roads than one who
has lived in Oregon as long as Senator
Dolph.
Statesman: It is a subject of universal
congratulation that the recent fronts have
done no harm to the fruit trees in this sec
tion. Owing to tne rather premature
blooming of tne tree it was greatly feared
tbey would be injured, but all fears of that
now is at an end. Over the Blue mountains
the weather has been unpreoedently severe
with snow and frost for three nights. As
tbe season is later there and tbe trees had
not budded they are all right. Unless
other freezes come the outlook in tbe Walla
Walla valley is excellent-
Quite an excitement waa raised at the
depot last evening. An Italian lady, who
seems to be earning a livelihood by selling
trinkets, stepped off the train, and leaving
her wares on the platform for a few
moments, a "hobo" discovered them and
"went through" the bundle He was dis
covered, however, and being pursued at
tempted to seek refnpe in Fred. Fisher's
store; but was caught and brought into the
woman a presence and searched by tbe oy
standers. Combs, pencils and other articles
Ot minor value were found in every poccec,
yet the woman declared there were other
articles missing. TVse, he is supposed, to
have thrown away in his night.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei.
Ths Dalles, Or., March 31.
Editor TiMES-UoDKTAiNita:
The utter defeat and hopeless rout of the
Mays-Farley combination at the recent Re
publican primaries, and in the county con
vention, seems to have struck tbe Chronicle
man a vital blow, judging from tbe poison
ous anathemas he hurls at his subscribers
and fellow-citizens generally while covering
the rear of tbe combination' retreat. Tne
supporters of the citizens' ticket having no
leader, save their conscience, he denomi
nates "Moody strikers," "carrion crows.
etc
Now it appears to ns thathe citizens are
the people that to their sacred trust is
handed the living principles of Washington,
Jefferson and Adams.
Making no doubt that the above quota
tions echo the sentiments of the entire com
bination, we make bold to assert that any
tnn or class of men who will so berate his
fellow citizens in the conscientious discharge
of their duties, is unworthy the name of
American, and would disappoint no fair-
minded free man if they took a back seat
along with the Chinamen, so far as Ameri
can citizenship is concerned.
As to the accusation of being "Moody
strikers" they were not "moody" about it
at all, bnt they did "strike" a telling blov
withal. Ana instead of "carrion crows'
they were "carryin votes" citizens' votes.
independent votes, white men's votes. The
crows they left behind, and their cawing
may now be heard beneath the weeping wil
lows. .
After making a scrutinizing snrvey of the
ruins, and judging the future by schemes
set on foot in the past, the writer is of the
opinion that this uprising sounds the funer
al knell to a gigantic scheme for a select
few to ride into wealth,luxury and dictating
power.
No wonder then that when they "discov
ered they were beaten in Tbe Dalles prima'
ries, they dispairiugly exclaimed, "My
kingdom for a horsel to ride and meet the
delegations from afar, bny, swap ,aad con
fuse them, to gain our lost, lost day; for
Victory lays a thousand miles away." Their
toes are now turned up to greet the purple
daisies, while, in the words of our worthy
chairman, we exclaim: "It is so ordered;
let it be spread upon the records!"

The Indian Oase.
East Orarouian.
Two Indians, Umapine and Mes-tin-e,
are confined in the "skookum house" at
the agency on the suspicion that they
murdered Lacket-il-pilp.the young Indian
found dead with a broken neck at the
foot of the levee Sunday morning. It
has been gathered that the three were to
gether on the levee, drunk, and engaged
in tne pleasant pastime ot consulting a
bottle . of liquor. The two arrested say
that they came away and went home,
leaving the other man there. Beyond
this rather unsatisfactory statement they
have said nothing. Indian police, who
are more skillful iq the detective business .
than many people imagine, are "working
np the case," and claim to have evidence
sufficient to make things warm for the
suspects. One point in- favor of the lat
ter is that there wero no marks of vio
lence on the dead man's person, but the
scene at ths levee indicates that a struggle
took place and Lacket-il-pilp might have
been thrown down the bank by his
drunken companions, the fall resulting in
a broken neck.

Chicago Tribune. 0
The public isalways responsive to sugges
tioos about the food it eats. Great interest
bu been taken in the investigations made
by the United States and Canadian govtrn-
uients and by the different boards of health
to show the purity or impurity of milk,
baking powders, spices, aod other articles
of diily use in the culinary departments of
our households.
Just now the subject of baking powder is
claiming public attention. We all desire
pure aod wholesome bread and this cannot
be had with tbe use of impure or poisonous
baking powder. There can be no longer
any qnestion that all the cheaper, lower
grades of baking powders contain either
alum, lime or phosphatio acid.
The official analysis by the United States
and Canadian governments have therefore
been studied with iuterest and they have
pretty clearly established the facts upon
this subject. The United States govern
ment report gives the names of eighteen
well-know powders, some of them adver
tised as pure cream of tartar baking pow
ders, that contain alum.
Tbe report given shows that tbe Royal
Baking Powder waa found the highest in
leavening strength, evolving 160.6 cnbic
inches of gas per single ounce of powder.
There were eight other brands of cream of
tartar powders tested and their average
strength waa 111.5 cubic inches of gas per
ounce of powder.
The Canadian government investigations
were of a still larger number ot powders.
Tne Royal Baking Powder was here also
shown tha purest and highest in strength,
containing 129.32 cubic inches of leavening
gaa per ounce of powder. Nine other cream
of tartar powders were tested, their average
strength being report to be 89 cnbic inches
of gas per ounce.
These figures ere very instructive to the
practical housekeeper. They indicate that
tbe Royal Baking Powder goes more than
33 per cent, fnrther in nae than the others,
or is one-third more economical. Still more
important than this, however, they prove
tuis popular article nas neen urougnt to tne
highest degree of purity for to ite super-
. 1 , . - 1 1 1 1 1 1 . . 1
lative purity this superiority in strength is
due and consequently that by its use we
be insured tbe purest and most wholesome
food.
The powders of lower strength are found
to leave large amounts of inert matters
the foou. Thia fact U emphasized by the
report of tbe Ohio State Food Commission
er, (who, while finding tbe Royal practically
pore, found no other powder to contain less
than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign mat
ters.
The public interest in this question has
likewise cauBed to be made investigations
by our local authorities. Prof. W.
Haines, of Rush Medical College, consult
ing chemist of the Chicago Board of Health,
has found results similar to those reported
by the national and Canadian authorities.
Dr. Haines says: ' '
Rush Medical College, Chicago, III. .
I bave recently obtained samples of tbe
chief baking powders in tbe market, and
baye subjected them to careful chemical ex
amination to determine their parity, whole-
someness and leavening power. As the Je
suit of my tests I find the Royal Baking
Powder superior to all the others in every
respect. It is entirely free from all adal-
teration and unwholesome impurity, and in
baking it gives off a greater volnme of leav
ening gas than any other powder, it is,
therefore, not only tbe purest, but also the
strongest powder with which I am acquaint
ed. Walter S. Haines, M. D.
Consulting Chemist, Chicago Board of Health.
The statistics show that there . is used in
the manufacture of the Royal Baking Pow
der more than half of all the cream1 of tar
tar consumed in tbe United States for all
purposes. The wonderful sale thus indi
cated for the Royal Baking Powder great
er than that of all other baking powders
combined is, perhaps, even a higher evi
dence tban that already quoted ot the supe
riority of this article, and of its indispenaa-
bleneas to modern cookery.

The wheelbarrow brigade .that started

say the trip has been very enjoyable; but
at times they have had to wade streams,
climb hills, and undergo great hardships.
The party consists of J. F. Chetham, E.
W. Caston, lohn Howard and Miss Lulu
Howard. The men appear to be forty
years ot age, or thereabouts, and the lady
perhaps about thirty. They are dressed
in proper attire for the journey, and not
in any manner to receive company in a
fashionable parlor. It is claimed by the
men that they are mechanics, and simply
undertook the journey for the novelty and
adventure associated with it. The lady
appeared in men's clothing, which she
claimed is belter adapted to the hard
ships of the journey. 6he is a variety
actress, and at towns on the route will
giye entertainments to pay expenses. The
barrow has the wheel nearly under the
central part, so that the weight is hardly
appreciable, and contains a tent, pro
visions, and a supply of medicines. They
have met many difficulties in following
county roads, and when they started out
this morning took the railroad track.
There is not much doubt that they will
make the journey in good time, and by
the wheelbarrow method ; but that it is at
all advisable, or that the object to be at
tained is at all commendable, we will not
say. When Miss Howard appears in
Eastern cities, in her male attire, there
may be trouble, and she may be Yo reed,
for the sake of propriety, to don her skirts
and dress.

John Switzler.
East Oregonian, .
What of him? Why thirty-six year ago
this day he was the direct cause of saving
the liyes of thirty persona at the Cascades
on the north side of the Columbia nver, at
a place called at that time the Upper Cas
cades. John is old and well weaned' witb
years now. But then be was a young man;
and after making thirty persona safe, be
ran the gauntlet for a mile witb other par
ties, some of whom were wounded while
others were killed by. the Yakima -and
Klickitat Indians. Yet he arrived at the
BAKXHQ
fort sate and sound, and in time to care, for
the wounded in the fort, where twelye sol
diers were imprisoned three days and
nights. The writer does not propose to
speak of the matter further than to eay that
twenty-four persons were killed outright
and many more wounded. ' Jay ' lines to
talk old times over and any one who feels
interested in Indian massacres and Inaian
fighting will be well entertained by him for
a tew hours he has been mere. jur.

Salem Journal: Hon. Robt. Clow, of
Junction, came dowu today to attend the
meeting- of tbe railroad commissioners
There was no quorum and the regular
meetihe will be beld next Monday. Mr
Clow went to Omaha and was largely
responsible for the settlement of the suits
witb tbe Union Pacific officials. He there
met with General Sopt. Thurston, dis
cussed tbe whole situation witb bim and
as a result an adjustment was reached
that took tbe whole matter out of ' tbe
courts and gave tbe people reduced
rates. He believes tbe same thing could
bave been done if the commission had
gone to San Francisco in the S. P. Co.
rate case. But be savs tbe commission
were afraid of tbe charge that they were
sure would be made that tbey were
merely on a junketing tour, and so did
not go. Tbe commission is rspidly
gaining ground in tbe confidence of tbe
shipping public and has done hard work
the past tbree months.
